You are correct, in fact, you could do that with the Highlight Layer too. Then just change the Base color and icon as desired. However, my example (I hope) shows new users of GIMP how simple it is to make icons. I didn't want to get overtly complicated on them. In my travels, I have ran into some tutorials that left me scratching my head.
